Missing menu items after update to 5.2

I just tested to install dk to /opt/digikam using
DIGIKAM_INSTALL_PREFIX. But even in this case, the references from the
old installation place are used:
/opt/digikam/bin $ ./digikam
digikam.dbengine: Loading SQL code from config file
"/opt/kf5/share/digikam/database/dbconfig.xml"
digikam.widgets: Paths to color scheme :
("/opt/kf5/share/digikam/colorschemes")
Furthermore, the splash screen from v5.1 with the wolf (from
/opt/kf5/share/digikam/data) instead of the mountain splash screen
(which is correctly located in /opt/digikam/share/digikam/data) from
v5.3 is taken.
